(E7)They may take you from (A6)me,

I’ll (E7)miss your fond ca (Am)ress.

But (E7)though they take you from (D7)me, I’ll still po (C7)sess:

no, no, they (Bbmaj7)can’t take that a (Am)way from (G7)me!

The way your smile just beams,

the way you sing off key,

the way you haunt my (G#m7)dreams,

no, no, they (Bbmaj7)can’t take that a (C7)way from (F)me!

We may (Am)nev er, (D9)nev er (Am)meet a (D9)gain on the (Am)bump y (F7)road to (E)love,

No, no!

They (Bbmaj7)can’t take that a (C7)way from (Dm)me!

(Bbm)No, they (D7)can’t take that a (Gm7)way (C7)from (F)me!

We may (Am)nev er, (D9)nev er (Am)meet a (D9)gain on the (Am)bump y (F7)road to (E)love,

the way you (Bb)changed my (Gb9)life.

No, no!

They (Bbmaj7)can’t take that a (C7)way from (Dm)me!

(Bbm)No, they (D7)can’t take that a (Gm7)way (C7)from (F)me!

We may (F)me!
